LeftNicaragua in 2010, it took him 6 months to reach the Mexico-US border. Captured by the Zeta Group (robbed and beaten). Arrested and deported by immigration officers upon his entry into the US.

Immigration referred him to the Mayor’s Office of Chinandega, one of the institutions leading the project. Received health care at the health centre (suffered from malnutrition, spots on the skin, and digestive issues). Integrated into his community working as a promoter.

His family(wife and daughter) were incorporated into the reintegration programme and received training (talks, follow-up at school, practical training).

Currently runs a barber shop at home(Villa 15 de Julio-Chinandega), and his wife is training as a hairdresser to help him. They are planning on expanding the business, waiting for a loan to be granted through the Mayor’s Office (UsuraCero).

A friend looked for her to go to work as a household worker in 2009. Since she had 4 children and was unemployed she asked her mother to look after her children and left. Instead of being taken to El Salvador she was taken to Guatemala to work in a bar.

She stayed there for almost11 months, cleaning and washing dishes during the day and being prostituted at night. She was able to escape and return to her community of origin. Through the Comisariade la Mujer y la Niñez, where she had filed a report, she learned that the Ministry of Family had a programme to support migrants and their families.

She received psychological and health care because she was sick when she returned. Her children received school uniforms and shoulder bags for their books. In addition, she received a food package for 6 months, and her children joined an acting and dance group.

She currently runs a local store at home and is doing well. In addition, she sells food upon request and is being supported by her family.

Local governments are addressing the needs of vulnerable migrant populations, with their own resources and in coordination with various sectors of the population (government, private sector, local NGOs…)
